In the mid 1980's a new attitude towards food and shopping was stirring in the U.S., beginning as these trends often do, in California. Families were paying more attention to what they were eating, to freshness and nutrition, looking for more diverse shopping choices. One of the earliest responses to these new customers occurred in October 1985. It was the opening of the first Pavilions in Garden Grove, California. Pavilions was not just a reinvention of shopping. It was a reinvention of how supermarkets operate.

Throughout the store you are treated to a fresher, more imaginative shopping experience. Our Butcher Shop offers certified Angus Beef, juicy and meltingly tender, a superior grade of beef that ranks even higher than USDA Choice. The warm, pleasing aromas drifting from our Bakery are the two dozen varieties of Artisan breads being hand-baked throughout each day, or our sumptuous Belgian chocolate tortes and rich buttery cookies. Mother nature's best overflows in our produce department where you'll often find 12 types of tomatoes, 15 varieties of apples, 14 types of melons and the purest organic fruits and vegetables.

For the urbane palate Pavilions Wine Cellars stock hundreds of vintages from the most celebrated domestic wineries, as well as selections from France, Italy, Spain and around the globe. The latest addition to our specialty departments is our Natural Market, which features 100% natural and organic food products, herbals, vitamins, supplements and beauty products. This eclectic mix of products and services is above and beyond the supermarket basics we offer, including a full-service pharmacy, making Pavilions an exciting and convenient shopping alternative to a standard supermarket.

Where else will you find 40 kinds of cooking oil, fresh sushi bars, 60 microbrews, Starbucks coffee shops, kosher meats, live Maine lobster, mango chutney, and thousands more items to set your imagination racing? Pavilions is still making "a world of difference."​
